Earth’s crust continuously melts and solidifies in the upper mantle. Why does oceanic crust solidify faster than continental cru

st?
A Continental crust spans a wider area and is generally thinner than oceanic crust.
B Magma beneath oceanic crust is a lower temperature than magma beneath continental crust.
C When magma comes into contact with ocean water it cools faster than when it reaches continental rock.
D Salt in ocean water accelerates the solidification process by way of chemical reaction.

The correct answer here is C. Water molecules are more free to move, so they will be able to engage in rapid and fluid contact with magma. This is in contrast to fixed continental rock, which may have quick initial heat transfer but which tapers off quickly because the rock is not flexible enough to send cooler rock towards the magma.

Identify the two types of wind erosion.
andriy [413]
Weathering breaks down and loosens the surface minerals of rock so they can be transported away by agents of erosion such as water, wind and ice. There are two types of weathering: mechanicaland chemical. Mechanical weathering is the disintegration of rock into smaller and smaller fragments.

What single feature is primarily responsible for the variation of climate throughout different times of the year?
konstantin123 [22]

The Sun is the basic source of energy for the Earth which affect the growth of all living things and the Sun also affect the all the biochemical processes. We know that the amount of radiation from the Sun changes day by day due to the distance of the Earth from the Sun. The rate of Solar energy affects the Earth in two ways.

The rate of solar heating which directly affects the processes like the evaporation and condensation and indirectly it affects the cloud forming processes of the Earth. The rate at which the solar energy reaches the Earth is called as the Total Solar Irradiance or TSI. This affects the climate of the Earth in many ways.

The change in rate of cloud formation increases of decreases with the distance of the Sun from Earth and hence a warm, moderate or cold climate is formed

It also affects the formation of winds due to the low or high pressure in the water bodies and hence affect the climate in the coastal areas.

The tropical areas have hot and humid climate due to the equator which has maximum exposure to the Sun’s heat.

Hence, the Sun is one primary feature that affects the climate in the Earth.
